There are "expire password" options in the user configuration, perhaps yours has been set. I see that mine is set, but with a huge number before it's required. The other thing to check is whether you have a bad key on your keyboard, and that one of the letters you're typing isn't being entered, or is double-entering. If you have an international keyboard selected, perhaps some of the keys aren't sending the characters you expect. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 4.16.11-100.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 22 20:02:12 UTC 2018 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted. There is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages posted to the mailing list. It seems the modern trend with Linux programmers is to change existing software so that it's more annoying to use (e.g. making reboots required, when they never used to be), then denying that *that* is a nuisance, then saying it's necessary (ignoring that several years of prior versions didn't have that stupid requirement), then complaining about being criticised for making things worse. Don't try giving me an Emperor's New Clothes routine, it won't wash. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
